Our Workshops

Ayurvedic Massage and Bliss Therapies (AMBT)
Ayurvedic massage and bliss therapies are the cornerstones of all Ayurveda spa therapies and panchakarma. These exquisite therapies are deeply relaxing and nourishing to the body and mind. During this program, students will learn how to perform one and two-person Ayurvedic massage (abhyanga) and learn how to administer Shirodhara and Svedana (herbal steam).

Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy
Students will learn the classical approach to Yoga Therapy and how the eight limbs of yoga can be utilized in the healing process. There is an emphasis on asana, pranayama, mudras and bandhas. Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy can be adapted to any tradition or style of yoga practice.

Yoga Nidra Teacher Training Course
Students will learn the philosophy, mythology, science and practice of Yoga Nidra and be prepared to lead classes for others. Students will be guided through several sessions and also practice-teach several sessions. All students leave with an evidence-based packet to bring into conventional settings.

Marma
Using the 107 energy points on the body, this treatment restores the proper flow of energy (prana) through the entire body and eases specific conditions while enhancing the natural ability of the body to heal. Practitioners work with prana & massage marma points with essential oils.

Panchakarma Specialist
Become a practitioner who is trained to both understand the traditional process of purifying and rejuvenating the body and is capable of designing and delivering a proper program. During this 6-day intensive students will learn and practice the hands-on treatments as well as important details about program design and case management.

Ayurvedic Facials
This lovely facial provides a soothing and exfoliating massage that nurtures the skin. Special energetic points on the face and scalp are massaged to calm the activity of the mind, creating a state of peace & tranquility.

Chakra Dough Basti
Dough is shaped and used to contain warm herbal oils on special parts of the body, allowing the oil’s medicinal properties to penetrate deeply into that part of the body. Common areas include the low back, eyes and heart.

Pinda Svedana
Utilizing warm pindas filled with rice or herbs soaked in medicated oil. When applied to the whole body it is good for neuromuscular and skeletal disorders. Applied to specific areas of the body experiencing pain or discomfort it supports healing.

Nasya
This treatment transitions between a relaxing facial massage using marma points of the head, face and neck and heat therapy. It is followed by nasal administration of herbalized oils to clean and purify the sinuses.
